Can't wait for the 9 & 10 series to debut!
I'll probably lease an M10 since these cars are throwaways after 30K miles.

Does anyone think it's going to get the same grief the RCF got for its weight from journalists? Is it a fair comparison or am I wrong?

the 6 series is still 5" longer than a 4 series though.
cars got bigger so they could expand the range too. 'back in the day' the 3 series was the smallest bmw. with the 1 and 2 series now, the 3 (and now 4 too) had to get bigger.
then there's the fact that PEOPLE seem to be getting bigger.

3in difference only, no reason why 4 series coupe needs to be this big.
My thinking is BMW wants to save $$$ and not stretch the wheelbase for the 4series GranCoupe variant therefore the normal coupe grows more than it has to.....

That looks so much like if Lexus was forced to make a BMW grille.

I was more referring to the just the matte plastic...The other BMW had some gloss or other color on the front end...as per Lexus, I find them hit and miss, but when the do a full redesign, the front end seem better.

Is it really that expensive/hard to make one giant ugly grill just for the Chinese market and do something different/much more subtle for other markets to spare the rest of the world these monstrosities?
